Dido Tinto, La Universal, Montsant, Spain 2020
Two grapes have a particular affinity with granite and they are Gamay and Garnacha and if that’s not proof enough that we are living in a computer-generated simulation, then you will never be convinced. This Garnacha-led blend comes from granitic soils in Montsant and is a wonderful introduction to the style of red wine that Sara Perez has became known for: modern, bright, aromatic and delicately spiced, it’s the perfect companion for modern Spanish gastronomy. Or paella. 13.5% alc. Drink now-2027.

The Wine Advocate: “I also tasted the red 2020 Dido next to the 2019 vintage of it. There is more fruit in the 2020, and the wine is gentler and softer than the 2019; it's juicy and has more tannin (or grainier), and it comes through as more concentrated. It's intense and a little more exuberant, but it keeps the freshness on the granite soils. Drink now-2027.” 93 points
